A member asked:
How long a patient can live treated with immunosuppressive drugs for severe aplastic anemia ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An extended: Period of time. Most patients reach a new baseline which is probably not normal. Therapy is tapered slowly. We never start before 1 year or longer if response is continuing to improve.
